Edie Falco Guest Stars on 30 Rock

Edie Falco, best known for her ass-kicking role as Carmela Soprano on the legendary HBO series The Sopranos will have a three episode guest appearance on 30 Rock this season.

We here at Watching 30 Rock are still reeling in disbelief that Falco did not win the Emmy this season for her role on the Sopranos. She is an awesome dramatic actress, as showcased in roles on the HBO prison drama Oz (where she played a prison guard who gets romantically involved with both an inmate and another prison administrator), as well as roles on Law & Order and Homicide: Life on the Street. We are happy to see that she’s moved on (more than us, it seems) from the disappointing Emmy loss to a role that will allow her to show her comic skills as well.

“I have laughed out loud at this show, and I am thrilled for the opportunity to work with such great comedic actors,” Falco said. “I am very excited.”

No word on what sort of role it will be – I wonder if she’ll still be on one side of the law or the other? How awesome would it be if James Gandolfini, Aida Turturro, or Lorraine Bracco were to show up in a cameo? Or if Tina Fey wrote in a character named Meadow or AJ that Falco got to slap the shit out of? (Somehow I suspect that would be more satisfying to the audience than to Falco herself.) Let’s just hope they don’t parody the famous “fade to black” series ending of The Sopranos, we all know all too well that has been done to death already.

Don’t forget to tune in this Thursday, October 4th, for the season two premiere of 30 Rock!
